How to Skip the Cybersecurity Hamster Wheel?
Growing concerns about cybersecurity have left business owners in dilemma. 80% of organizations prioritize their privilege security and expressed how critical it is to maintain an isolated environment to ensure IT security. Protecting privileged assets and isolating environments within your IT security ecosystem is still a tough task. Because, cyber-attacks may occur anytime and ruin your vital business information, be it a multi-million company, government agency, hospital, university, or a shop next door. Just like a hamster wheel, as you keep securing your enterprise IT systems from one type of malware or cyber-attack an evolved and mightier one is at your beck to wreak havoc. So, how to get your business off the annoying hamster wheel? We’ll get into that in this blog and see how you can have an edge over the situation with Avancer’s IAM solutions.
What is at stake?
Cybercrime can result in Personally-Identifying Information (PII) identity theft, credit card information theft, health records, and intellectual property theft, no matter how securely you keep them. Before learning the ways to ditch a cyber security hamster wheel, you got to have a basic idea about it. There are numerous solutions over there in the market, but not all of them are effective to fix this IT security loophole. Moreover, you have plenty of tasks to take care of including the increasing workforce, number of tools, and employee training to name a few. Machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) might come in handy in this scenario for the extra help you need to keep everything under control. Identity governance spearheaded with AI is the big thing in the cybersecurity area as of now! More than 60,000 breaches occur in Europe alone, within a year that crucially affects the GDPR.
How to fix the loopholes and get away from the hamster wheel?
Vulnerabilities in IT or Identity security can be fixed, once you identify the right ones. The real challenge though is fixing them at the earliest. Avancer’s IAM solutions detect threats right at the onset automatically and prevent them from jeopardizing your IT security. Though the wheel of threat churns uncontrollably risking your enterprise identities and information, modern security tools are matching up to combat it as fast as they can. Identifying, blocking, patching, and fixing the miscreants can only safeguard enterprise information at large. Implementing features like EDR (endpoint detection and response) helps monitor and detect advanced cyber threats, even if temporarily.
What would you do to tightly secure your business identities and intellectual assets?
Well, here are the solutions:
- Automation:
Automation is the key point when you are on the verge of getting your information stolen or compromised by a cyberattack. Manually on average, 50 days are required to fix a malicious attack. Automation saves time and your data as well. Metaphorical identification in an automated environment delays the security hamster wheel and enables IT admins for focussing on patching and preventing upcoming attacks. - Evaluate Trusting Users:
Many times threats and cybersecurity lapses occur through your users. Your users end up being your weakest link that threatens the endpoint security. you trust your users, but unknowingly they click any link or visit it which brings malware to your business. Endpoint security vulnerabilities are reviewed showing 92.4% of malware being delivered through email whereas 15.5% of malicious emails were disguised as bills. Emails, web browsers and social media have huge userbases and attackers use these methods to wreak havoc. Implementing a zero-trust architecture is sure to bring better security for your enterprise. - Isolating Crucial Business Information:
Once you get yourself out of the hamster wheel your enterprise information will be actually secured. It is possible by isolating sensitive data from possible factors that might cause cyberattacks. Your privileged enterprise data should be guarded with enough security settings and access controls.
